Hi guys.
I'm hoping to do a 2/3 week tour covering ~2k miles on my 2009 B400. What tools should I take?

I'm reasonably competent, I used to do basic work on my own cars back in the day when it was possible to actually do something to a car.
I suppose my biggest worry is having an unrepairable puncture and having to remove a wheel so that I can take it somewhere to have a new tire fitted.
BTW- How much would I expect to pay for say, a month's breakdown recovery insurance?

Tis all true, Julian EVEN had the correct spare rear wheel bearing in his butty box




Re: Touring tool kit.
Jaz besides being a good cook in the kitchen is a wizz at warming up a swing arm on a gas bbq so bearing knocks out with ease .So add him to your list
Re: Touring tool kit.
I'd take a spare belt at least you can get any garage to fit it .If it was me I'd put a new one one before tour if it needs one or not and take other as a spare
